Five years after Nour Maqsodi left behind her classmates in Afghanistan, she watched as the news broadcast scenes of carnage from her childhood neighbourhood.
She saw a street she remembered vividly and the ruins of a place of worship she visited as a child.
As her uncle was rushed to hospital with shrapnel wounds, Nour, then 14, desperately searched for information on her old school friends, who also attended the mosque.
